So, I am in the middle of shopping and I need help!
I decided I want a stick for streaming Hulu and Netflix
I was between chrome stick, Roku and fire tv
now I am between Roku and Fire TV
I am wondering if anyone has these and what do you think?
I checked on reviews but I still cant decide....

I have a Roku Box, but I will buy Chromecast in a week or two.
I love Roku, but it doesn't have Youtube.....at all.
Roku has a ton of 3rd party, and user created content. I use the PLEX channel to stream movies from my pc. The SouthPark channel is the biggest perk of PLEX, it connects to southpark studios.com for unlimted viewing form a TV with 0 (zero) commercials.

Shit, I have an extra Roku box, I could send it to you if you pay shipping.

We have a Roku stick that came with a JVC TV that we picked up several months ago and my wife and I love it.

..and yes Virginia, it does stream youtube along with dozens of other apps like Hulu, Netflix, HBOGO, Amazon, etc.. etc.. etc...

You'll find a lot more support for the chromecast than any other stick media player. Plus if your using chrome and googles products its a no brainer to use the Chromecast since they work very well together. Cast is 30 bucks on Amazon plus you get a 20 buck google credit to use in the app store.
